one scene i thought was memorable, when dianne feinstein took after him for not allowing senate staff access to a lot of this information really was a window on how washington works that, you know, people think that senators sort of pore over a lot of these and study them. their staffs brief them and tell them what's going on. the suggestion staff can't have access is debilitating as we saw yesterday. >> it was interesting that brennan said that he, when waterboarding came on, when he was at the cia that he was not in a position to try to stop it, but that he had expressed his reservations about it, his opposition to it and that he would never happen under his watch under director of cia. did that come across as auth authentic? a little bit different from waterboarding. something president obama ostensibly put a stop to said we don't water board. we don't torture. so the belief is i guess, it goes on some of these cia black sites that may or may not exist officially. >> so on the drones, i mean when the flap started at the beginning of the week with the new york time story about this.

the senate intelligence committee led by powerful democrat dianne feinstein has completed a 6,000-page classified report into the cia program. those familiar with the report's findings tell fox news concludes the agency lied about the program's effectiveness, a charge denied by those who ran the program. a leading human rights group believes brennan must explain whether he agrees with the report's findings. >> i haven't seen the study so it is difficult to talk about it because it is over 6,000 mains long but it is classified. senator wyden, a member of the committee who has seen the study, says it appears the cia did mislead congress and the white house about the cia interrogation program. we don't know whether or not it was effective. we don't know about the full scope of it. how many people were in the program? how long the program answered? these are really key issues that need to be answered. >> reporter: a former senior intelligence official told fox news if in fact mr. brennan agreed with the report's findings it will be virtually impossible for him to lead the agency workforce

the committee's chair dianne feinstein eventually cleared the room. later, brennan cited the protesters when he address what had he called a misperception about the goal of the drone strikes. let's listen. >> i think there is a misimpression on the part of some american people who believe that we take strikes to punish terrorists for past transgressions. nothing could be further from the truth. we only take such actions as a last resort to save lives when there's no other alternative to taking an action that's going to mitigate that threat. so we need to make sure there is an understanding and the people that were standing up here today, i think they really have a misunderstanding of what we do as a government and the care that we take and the agony that we go through to make sure that we do not have any collateral injuries or deaths. >> robin, when he described this as a last resort to save lives, one reaction i had is among the lives we save when we use drones are those of troops who otherwise would be going into harm's way. >> absolutely. i lived i
